See now that I, even I, am He, And there is no god with Me; I kill, and I make alive; I have wounded, and I heal; And there is none that can deliver out of My hand.,The wasting of hunger, and the devouring of the fiery bolt, And bitter destruction; And the teeth of beasts will I send upon them, With the venom of crawling things of the dust.,He found him in a desert land, and in the waste, a howling wilderness; He compassed him about, He cared for him, He kept him as the apple of His eye.,When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance, when He separated the children of men, He set the borders of the peoples according to the number of the children of Israel.,As an eagle that stirreth up her nest, Hovereth over her young, Spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, Beareth them on her pinions—,of the Rock that begot thee thou wast unmindful, And didst forget God that bore thee. .,Their wine is the venom of serpents, And the cruel poison of asps.,They sacrificed unto demons, no-gods, Gods that they knew not, New gods that came up of late, Which your fathers dreaded not.,How should one chase a thousand, And two put ten thousand to flight, Except their Rock had given them over And the LORD had delivered them up?,I thought I would make an end of them, I would make their memory cease from among men;,Who did eat the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink-offering? Let him rise up and help you, Let him be your protection.,And the LORD saw, and spurned, Because of the provoking of His sons and His daughters.,and die in the mount whither thou goest up, and be gathered unto thy people; as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor, and was gathered unto his people.,But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked— Thou didst wax fat, thou didst grow thick, thou didst become gross— And he forsook God who made him, And contemned the Rock of his salvation.,For it is no vain thing for you; because it is your life, and through this thing ye shall prolong your days upon the land, whither ye go over the Jordan to possess it.’,If I whet My glittering sword, And My hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to Mine adversaries, And will recompense them that hate Me.,If they were wise, they would understand this, They would discern their latter end.,Because ye trespassed against Me in the midst of the children of Israel at the waters of Meribath-kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because ye sanctified Me not in the midst of the children of Israel.,For the portion of the LORD is His people, Jacob the lot of His inheritance.,Do ye thus requite the LORD, O foolish people and unwise? Is not He thy father that hath gotten thee? Hath He not made thee, and established thee?,Were it not that I dreaded the enemy’s provocation, Lest their adversaries should misdeem, Lest they should say: Our hand is exalted, And not the LORD hath wrought all this.’,I will make Mine arrows drunk with blood, And My sword shall devour flesh; With the blood of the slain and the captives, From the long-haired heads of the enemy.’,For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, And of the fields of Gomorrah; Their grapes are grapes of gall, Their clusters are bitter;,And the LORD spoke unto Moses that selfsame day, saying:,And when Moses made an end of speaking all these words to all Israel,,Vengeance is Mine, and recompense, Against the time when their foot shall slip; For the day of their calamity is at hand, And the things that are to come upon them shall make haste.,Give ear, ye heavens, and I will speak; And let the earth hear the words of my mouth.,Without shall the sword bereave, And in the chambers terror; Slaying both young man and virgin, The suckling with the man of gray hairs.,The LORD alone did lead him, And there was no strange god with Him.,For I will proclaim the name of the LORD; Ascribe ye greatness unto our God.,For thou shalt see the land afar off; but thou shalt not go thither into the land which I give the children of Israel.’,And Moses came and spoke all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he, and Hoshea the son of Nun.,For I lift up My hand to heaven, And say: As I live for ever,,They roused Him to jealousy with strange gods, With abominations did they provoke Him.,Sing aloud, O ye nations, of His people; For He doth avenge the blood of His servants, And doth render vengeance to His adversaries, And doth make expiation for the land of His people.,’Is not this laid up in store with Me, Sealed up in My treasuries?,I will heap evils upon them; I will spend Mine arrows upon them;,For their rock is not as our Rock, Even our enemies themselves being judges.,For the LORD will judge His people, And repent Himself for His servants; When He seeth that their stay is gone, And there is none remaining, shut up or left at large.,Curd of kine, and milk of sheep, With fat of lambs, And rams of the breed of Bashan, and he-goats, With the kidney-fat of wheat; And of the blood of the grape thou drankest foaming wine.,And He said: ‘I will hide My face from them, I will see what their end shall be; For they are a very froward generation, Children in whom is no faithfulness.,’Get thee up into this mountain of Abarim, unto mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that is over against Jericho; and behold the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel for a possession;,My doctrine shall drop as the rain, My speech shall distil as the dew; As the small rain upon the tender grass, And as the showers upon the herb.,They have roused Me to jealousy with a no-god; They have provoked Me with their vanities; And I will rouse them to jealousy with a no-people; I will provoke them with a vile nation.,Is corruption His? No; His children’s is the blemish; A generation crooked and perverse.,For they are a nation void of counsel, And there is no understanding in them.,Remember the days of old, Consider the years of many generations; Ask thy father, and he will declare unto thee, Thine elders, and they will tell thee.,For a fire is kindled in My nostril, And burneth unto the depths of the nether-world, And devoureth the earth with her produce, And setteth ablaze the foundations of the mountains.,He made him ride on the high places of the earth, And he did eat the fruitage of the field; And He made him to suck honey out of the crag, And oil out of the flinty rock;,And it is said: Where are their gods, The rock in whom they trusted;,The Rock, His work is perfect; For all His ways are justice; A God of faithfulness and without iniquity, Just and right is He. .,he said unto them: ‘Set your heart unto all the words wherewith I testify against you this day; that ye may charge your children therewith to observe to do all the words of this law. |

And I said: ‘I am cast out From before Thine eyes’; Yet I will look again Toward Thy holy temple. 2.6. The waters compassed me about, even to the soul; The deep was round about me; The weeds were wrapped about my head. 2.7. I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; The earth with her bars closed upon me for ever; Yet hast Thou brought up my life from the pit, O LORD my God. 2.8. When my soul fainted within me, I remembered the LORD; And my prayer came in unto Thee, Into Thy holy temple. 2.9. They that regard lying vanities Forsake their own mercy. 2.10.

Why are the hoofbeats of his steeds so tardy?,Have they not found booty? have they not divided the prey; to every man a damsel or two; to Sisera a booty of divers colours, a plunder of many coloured needlework, dyed double worked garments for the necks of the spoilers.,They fought from heaven; the stars in their courses fought against Sisera.,Lord, when Thou didst go out of Se῾ir, when Thou didst march out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, and the heavens dropped, the clouds also dropped water.,Awake, awake, Devora: awake, awake, utter a song: arise, Baraq, and lead away thy captives, thou son of Avino῾am.,Then did the horsehoofs beat from the frantic galloping of his mighty ones.,Curse Meroz, said the angel of the Lord, curse bitterly its inhabitants; because they did not come to the help of the Lord, to the help of the Lord against the mighty men.,Zevulun was a people that jeoparded their lives to the death and Naftali likewise, on the high places of the field.,You that ride on tawny she asses, you that sit on couches, and you that walk by the way, tell the tale.,He asked water, but she gave him milk; she brought forth cream in a lordly dish.,In the days of Shamgar the son of ῾Anat, in the days of Ya᾽el, the highways were unoccupied, and the travellers walked through crooked byways.,The kings came and fought, then fought the kings of Kena῾an in Ta῾nakh by the waters of Megiddo; they took no gain of silver.,At her feet he bent, he fell, he lay down: at her feet he bent, he fell: where he bowed, there he fell down, bereft of life.,My heart goes out to the governors of Yisra᾽el, that offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless the Lord!,From Efrayim came they, but rooted in ῾Amaleq, beyond thee, Binyamin with thy tribes; from Makhir came down leaders, and from Zevulun, those that handle the marshal’s staff.,Why then didst thou sit among the sheepfolds, to hear the bleatings of the flocks? For the divisions of Re᾽uven, great were the heart searchings.,In time of tumultuous strife in Yisra᾽el when the people willingly offered themselves; praise the Lord.,And the princes of Yissakhar were with Devora; as was Yissakhar, so was Baraq. Into the valley they rushed forth, at his feet. In the divisions of Re᾽uven, great were the resolves.,The mountains melted from before the Lord, that Sinay before the Lord God of Yisra᾽el.,She put her hand to the tent peg, and her right hand to the workmen’s hammer; and she hammered Sisera, she smote through his head; she crushed and pierced his temple. |

O give thanks unto the LORD, call upon His name; Make known His doings among the peoples. 16.9. Sing unto Him, sing praises unto Him; Speak ye of all His marvellous works. 16.10. Glory ye in His holy name; Let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD. 16.11. Seek ye the LORD and His strength; Seek His face continually. 16.12. Remember His marvellous works that He hath done, His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth; 16.13. O ye seed of Israel His servant, Ye children of Jacob, His chosen ones. 16.14. He is the LORD our God; His judgments are in all the earth. 16.15. Remember His covet for ever, The word which He commanded to a thousand generations; 16.16. [The covet] which He made with Abraham, And His oath unto Isaac; 16.17. And He established it unto Jacob for a statute, To Israel for an everlasting covet; 16.18. Saying: ‘Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, The lot of your inheritance.’ 16.19. When ye were but a few men in number, Yea, very few, and sojourners in it, 16.20. And when they went about from nation to nation, And from one kingdom to another people, 16.21. He suffered no man to do them wrong, Yea, for their sake He reproved kings: 16.22. ’Touch not Mine anointed ones, And do My prophets no harm.’ 16.23. Sing unto the LORD, all the earth; Proclaim His salvation from day to day. 16.24. Declare His glory among the nations, His marvellous works among all the peoples. 16.25. For great is the LORD, and highly to be praised; He also is to be feared above all gods. 16.26. For all the gods of the peoples are things of nought; But the LORD made the heavens. 16.27. Honour and majesty are before Him; Strength and gladness are in His place. 16.28. Ascribe unto the LORD, ye kindreds of the peoples, Ascribe unto the LORD glory and strength. 16.29. Ascribe unto the LORD the glory due unto His name; Bring an offering, and come before Him; Worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness. 16.30. Tremble before Him, all the earth; The world also is established that it cannot be moved. 16.31. Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; And let them say among the nations: ‘The LORD reigneth.’ 16.32. Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; Let the field exult, and all that is therein; 16.33. Then shall the trees of the wood sing for joy, Before the LORD, for He is come to judge the earth. 16.34. O give thanks unto the LORD; for He is good; For His mercy endureth for ever. 16.35. And say ye: ‘Save us, O God of our salvation, And gather us together and deliver us from the nations, That we may give thanks unto Thy holy name, That we may triumph in Thy praise.’ 16.36. Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, From everlasting even to everlasting. And all the people said: ‘Amen, ‘and praised the LORD. |
